NEW YORK, June 5 : The United States imposed sanctions on Cuban President Miguel Diaz-Canel and several other individuals and entities to ramp up pressure on the island country.
The U.S. Treasury Department has added Diaz-Canel, four other individuals and five entities, including Cuba’s Ministry of the Revolutionary Armed Forces, to the Specially Designated Nationals List, according to an update posted on the department’s website on Thursday.
Diaz-Canel, 66, succeeded Raul Castro as Cuban president in 2018, according to Xinhua.
In May, the U.S. government sanctioned 11 Cuban officials and charged Raul Castro over
a 1996 incident involving Cuban exiles.
